Case Study: Product Mindset Cohort Transformation

Key Outcomes

- 88% Return on Expectations (combines engagement scores and measures of the predefined expectations and outcomes) for all three cohorts
- There has been a 77% increase in Cohort members applying a Product Mindset after completing a Cohort as observed by their managers and other stake holders
